to  tlio  caii'-o  oC  missions.  The  Rev.  .T;iines  A.  Koii- 
aldsoii,  and  llio  Rev.  John  Young,  made  similaf  of- 
fers of  service  ;  and  after  receiviii|j;  the  nmst  ample 
testimonials  of  tlieii'  cliaracter  and  (jualifications,  they 
were  cordially  received  by  the  board." 

At  this  time,  a  ;;encral  feeling  of  the  importance 
and  benevolence  of  missions  to  the  aborigines  of 
America  agitated  the  Baptist  denomination  tliroughont 
the  land.  Such,  iiowever,  was  the  condition  of  the 
people  ill  the  AV'cstcrn  Slates,  that  the  missionaries 
could  not,  at  once,  enter  on  their  appropriate  work  of 
preaching  Christ  to  the  Indians.  Much  of  their  time 
was  occupied  in  breaking  the  bread  of  life  to  the  des- 
titute while  population.  Rut  they  also  performed 
journeys,  and  hekl  conversations  with  the  Indians, 
preparatory  lo  the  establishment  of  a  mission  and 
schools  among  them.  In  this  w(uk,  they  met  with 
occurrences  abundantly  calculated  to  inierest  and  en- 
courage them.  The  Indians,  in  many  cases,  were  so- 
licitous to  have  preaching  for  themselves,  and  schools 
for  their  children. 

Accordingly,  as  soon  as  circumstances  rendered  it 
possible,  stations  were  established  by  the  board,  in 
the  heart  of  the  Indian  territory.  On  account  of  the 
roving  character  of  the  natives,  the  amount  of  suc- 
cess has  not  been  so  great  as  was  desirable  ;  hut  many 
souls  have,  nevertheless,  been  born  into  the  kingdom. 
We  present  briedy  the  details  of  the  several  stations. 


VALLEY   TOWXS. 

This  slntion  is  situated  on  the  river  Iliwassee,  in  the 
state  of  iVorlh  Carolina,  among  the  Cherokee  Indians. 

In  the  year  ISIR,  "Rev.  Humphrey  Posey  trav- 
elled tliroii'j;h  the  Cherokee  nation,  and  originated 
three  or  lour  schools  for  the  Indian  children  ;  but,  for 
want  of  funds,  or  some  other  cause,  they  were  relin- 
quished at  the  end  f)f  the  first  tjiiartcr.  IIis  journeys 
over  that  wild  and  mountainous  country,  were  ex- 
tremely fatiguing;  hut  the  willingness  of  the  Iiulians 
to  hear  the  gospel,  and  their  importunity  for  a  mis- 
sion, and  schools,  cheered  him  in  his  wanderings. 
After  the  suspension  of  his  first  schools,  he  went  to 
Missouri,  preaching  as  opportunity  oflercd. 

"  During  this  lour,  he  travelled  nearh'  two  ihousand 
miles;  and  on  his  return,  he  formed  a  lilili;  establish- 
ment, erected  suitable  buildings  for  a  mission  fmiily, 
a  school,  and  a  workshop.  His  school  contained  be- 
tween forty  and  fifty  chi\(lren  in  1821,  at  which  time, 
llic. board  sent  out  a  laige  reinforcement;  consisting 


of  ihe  Rev.  Thomas  ]\oherts,  Mr.  ]'"vaii  Jones,  a 
teacher,  and  Mr.  ("leaver,  a  blaeksiiiilh  ;  ail  liicse 
cairicd  wives.  Mr.  Fairier,  a  farmer  and  weaver, 
Miss  Cleaver,  Miss  Jones  and  Mis.-,  Lew  is,  \\'ilh  se\'- 
cral  children,  helonging  to  the  three  families.  "^riiey 
were  set  apart  lo  their  work  in  ihe  cil)-  of  Pliiladel- 
])hia,  and  lell  that  place  in  Sc])tember,  18-21,  laden 
with  clolhing  lor  their  scholars,  and  other  necessary 
things,  in  a  large  missionary  establishment. 

"In  lSx;;3,  two  or  three  of  the  natives  heeaino  se- 
rious, ami  it  was  hoped  they  were  real  Ciiiistian.s. 
One  of  them  was  a  lull  Indian,  named  W'a-sa-di,  a 
member  of  ihe  national  council,  who  received  the  gos- 
)iel  through  a  very  poor  interpreter,  l)eing  entirely  Ig- 
norant of  the  F.nglish  language.  His  concern  for  the 
salvation  of  his  jieople  was  so  intense,  that  he  hasten- 
ed to  tell  them  all  he  knew  of  his  great  Deli\crcr, 
and  prayed  wall  them,  giving  them  the  most  earnest 
exhortalions  lo  (ly  lo  Christ,  without  a  moment's  de- 
lay. Il  was,  for  a  long  time,  dinicult  to  convince  him 
that  ungodly  while  men  had  ever  heard  of  the  sulTer- 
ings  and  love  of  the  Sa\iour." 

As  the  days  of  the  millennium  approach,  Il  is  by 
no  means  wonderlul  that  the  preaching  of  tiie  gosjiel 
should  be  attended  with  success,  and  that  all  efibrts 
to  advance  the  cause  of  holiness  should  be  owned  of 
God.  Accordingly  wc  find  the  Indians  one  by  one 
gathered  into  the  church  at  this  as  well  as  at  the 
other  stations.  Every  year  shows  new  triumplis  of 
religion.  This  will  appear  evident  from  a  letter  to 
the  corresponding  secretary  by  Rev.  Evan  Jones, 
dated  Valley  Towns,  October  12,  1827. 

"  I  drop  you  a  line  previous  to  my  starling  to  tiie 
Cherokee  council,  where  a  great  number  of  people 
will  be  assembled  ;  and  wdiere  I  hope  to  have  an  op- 
"jiortunily  to  proclaim  the  message  of  s;ilvaiio;i.  I 
also  cx|)ect  lo  visiL_scveral  Indian  settlements,  border- 
ing on  ihe  line,  in  which  a  number  of  persons  under- 
stand I'aiglish,  but  have  no  opporluniiy  ol  hearing  the 
gospel.  I  find  I  shall  have  full  employment  in  \i>iling 
the  vai'ious  places,  where  the  people  express  a  desire, 
and  even  an  anxiety  to  hear  the  word.  1  rejoice  to  say 
ihe  gosptd  is  gaining  more  and  more  auention  ;  am! 
that  a  few  are  deeply  impressed  wiih  its  sacred  Ueaiis. 
The  congregations  are  generally  alTected  uilh  the  word 
preached  ;  and  not  unfreqiiently  dissolved  in  tears. 
The  natives  used  to  \iew  all  we  said  as  mere  legen- 
dary tales,  in  which  Indians  could  ha\e  no  sort  ol  con- 
cern ;  and  the  apathy  and  ]irollii;acy  of  ihe  whites, 
residing  among  ihem,  confirmed  this  opinion  :  some 
have  even  lakrn  the  jiains  to  endea\  or  to  persuade 
them  that  there  is  no  Iruih  in  the  gos|iel  doclrincs. 
The  Indians,  howcvt'r,  arc  now  fully  ]iersua»;etl  iliut 
these  are  true,  and  Christians  their  Iricnds.

''  I  hope  the  fci'liiig  whirl)  ap[io;irs  lo  ho  excited  in 
several  peisons  will,  hy  ihc  powerful  agciic}'  of  ihe 
IIol}'  Spirit,  he  hrought  lo  a  liapp)'  issue. 

"  At  Xotley,  slxlecii  miles  from  the  mission-house, 
the  prosjieei  is  very  pleasiiie; :  four  oi  (i\-e  ajipear  lo 
he  imilor  a  work  of  grace,  ami  iwo  of  theui,  I  hope, 
have  found  ihe  Saviour  precious.  At  the  last  meet- 
ing, the  peo|>lo  in  general  appeared  soleum  and  much 
impressed.  Some  came,  who  IkuI  not  heen  at  meet- 
ing lor  two  years.  The  earnestness  of  their  neigh- 
hors  seems  to  have  aioused  ihem.  ()  u  iicn  shall  the 
hapjty  day  come,  in  which  they  shall  crowd  to  the 
staudaril  of  Inuuauuel  !" 

In  Ma}',  IS'^S,  a  school  was  commenced  at  IVotley, 
under  encouraging  circumstances,  with  fifteen  pupils. 
This  place  also  hecame  a  regidar  preaching-station. 
It  is  the  custom  ol  missionaries  in  the  Indian  coimtry, 
as  elsewhere,  to  diiruse  Chi'istianity  as  widely  as  may  he, 
1))'  preaelilngin  vai'lous  places  near  iheir  head-qiu\rlers. 
in  a  letter  dated  May,  IS'JH,   Mr.  Jones  says: — 

'•'  I  have  now  five  preaching  places,  at  which  a 
niuiihcr  of  persons  understand  ICngllsh,  if  the,  very 
simplest  language  he  used.  At  each  of  these  places, 
there  are  some  favorahlc  indications.  Indeed,  wc  are 
sometimes  almost  prompted  to  rejoice,  as  if  we  w'it- 
ncssed  the  hrst  droppings  of  a  gi'acious  shower,  coming 
on  this  thirsty  land.  This  bears  up  our  spiiits  amidst 
many  dliricultics  and  trials,  with  which  our  patii  is 
strown." 

The  following  extract  from  the  rejiort  of  the  board 
for  1830  j)ossesses  interest. 

"There  were  indications,  in  the  early  part  of  1829, 
of  more  than  ordinary  attention  to  religion  among  the 
Indians.  June  llth,  Mr.  Jones  wiites  :  '  Two  Chcro- 
kces,  Kanceda  and  his  wife,  neither  of  whom  has  any 
knowledge  of  the  English  language,  ga\e  us  an  ac- 
count of  a  work  of  grace  on  their  minds,  and  the 
happy  change  it  had  produced, which  caused  a  thrill 
of  wonder  and  joy  to  pass  through  the  amliencc.  A 
great  number  of  peojilc  were  present.  Two  white 
females  also  professed  faith  In  the  Redeemer.  .  They 
were  all  baptized,  and  afterward  sat  down  to  com- 
memorate the  death  of  Christ.  It  was  the  most  in- 
teresting day  we  have  ever  witnessed  at  this  place.' 
"  In  January  of  the  jiresent  year,  he  adds:  '  Every 
meeting,  some  new  cases  of  anxious  in(purers  occur. 
Our  brother  Kanecda,  whom  we  now  call  .John  Wick- 
hfre,was  licensed  last  church  meeting;  and  he  intends 
to  devote  himself  to  the  «oik  of  proclaiming  Jesus  to 
dying  sinners,  all  the  time  ho  can  spare  from  the  la- 
b(jr  necessary  to  suj>porl  his  family.  lie  is  a  man  of 
gooil  uii(ler>tandiug,  ardent  piety,  ami  pf)ssesses,  in  a 
In-h  degree,  the  confidence  of  the  peopl(^  lie  has 
luiiehased  an  improvement  two  miles  from  the  station, 


ami  rcmo\i'd  to  it  for  the  express  jiurpose  of  getting 
more  instruction  in  ihe  docliines   of  the  gospel." 

The  revival  jusi  mentioned  continued  through  iho 
year.  And  while  the  temporal  circumstances  of  tiie 
Chcrokees  were  growing  dar]<er  and  darker,  in  coiise- 
(pienci:  of  the  negotialions  for  their  removal  hom  the 
land  of  their  fathers,  the  light  of  heaven  was  spif.'ad- 
ing  rapidly  on  every  side.  During  the  year,  forty- 
eight  persons  were  baptized  on  a  profe'ssion  of  iheir 
faith  ;  and  many  of  them  becanu!  active  in  advancin-' 
the  cause  of  Christ  among  tlnnr  eountrymen. 

On  the  (ilh  of  June,  ly;32,  lie  v.  Mr.  Jones  writes  ; — 
"  I  hiul  the  unspeakable  pleasure  last  sabbath  lo 
bnry  in  baplism  llilrly-slx  full  Chertikees,  Iwtnly-fcnir 
males  ami  twelve  females.  Among  them  was  a  man 
apparently  tibout  seventy  years  old,  accomiiani(;d  hy 
two  sons,  a  daui;hter  and  hi;r  husband,  and  three 
grandsons.  Another  man,  about  sixty,  publicly  re- 
nounced rendering  homage  to  fire  and  imaginary  be- 
ings, and  his  practice  of  conjui  ing,  and  professed  jiim- 
self  a  follower  of  the  supreme  God,  through  the  medi- 
ation of  his  Son  Jesus  Christ.  Two  females  were  quite 
aged,  and  nine  men  and  their  wives  were  in  the  prime 
of  life.  All  these  joyfully  followed  the  steps  of  iiic 
Saviour.  The  congregation  on  the  sabbath  was  large 
and  serious;  and,  on  invitation,  about  fifty  came  for- 
ward to  express  their  desire  to  forsake  sin  and  seek 
salvation."  At  subsequent  periorls,  thirteen  more 
were  added  lo  the  chuiidi  by  baptism,  and  three  by 
letter,  making  the  entire  number  of  members  one 
hundred  and  sixty-five, — of  whom  one  is  black,  fif- 
teen (including  the  missionaries)  arc  white,  and  one 
liundred  and  forty-nine  are  Cherokees. 

l>y  later  information,  as  recent  as  July,  JS3-!,  we 
learn  that  the  gospel  is  still  advancing.  Twcnly  more 
have  been  baplizetl,  making  the  [iresent  number  of 
the  church  one  hundred  and  eighty-five. 

There  are  two  native  preachers  and  Civc  exhorlcrs, 
who  are  very  useful  in  their  respective  neighborhoods, 
and  the  former  often  travel  to  distant  places.  The 
pious  character  of  the  converts  generally  is  fully  sus- 
tained. Says  Mr.  Jones,  "  In  all  the  settlements 
where  the  members  reside  [being  remote  from  the 
station],  they  meet  on  sabbath  days  to  sing  and  I'ray. 
They  have  also  regular  prayer-meetings  in  the  week. 
All  the  heads  of  families  have  morning  and  evening 
woishlp  in  their  houses,  and  man)-,  who  arc  not  heads 
of  families,  use  their  innuencc  for  that  purpose." 

There  has  sprung  up  in  the  nation,  about  seventy- 
five  mil(;swest  of  the  Valley  Towns,  a  second  church, 
the  history  of  which  is  worthy  of  record.  Three 
years  ago,  Mr.  Jesse  IJushyliead,  a  Cherokee,  became 
convinced,  b\  Ino  study  of  the  l)ible  alone,  of  the 
iluty  and  proju'lety  of  believers'  baptism;  and  though

at  ilic  lime  iinacqiiiiintctl  wiili  any  Baplisis,  lie  took 
a  journey  of  lucnty  miles  to  aiicml  one  of  their  mcet- 
ini;s,  and  make  an  open  profession  of  liis  faiili.  On 
this  occasion,  there  was  a  minister,  ]irRscnt  from  Ten- 
nessee, who  soon  after  visited  the  nci^lihorhood  of 
Mr.  IJushyliead,  and  commenced  |)reacliin;j;  once  a 
month.  His  labors  were  blessed,  and  in  a  little  lime 
a  church  was  gathered,  which  nou-  consisis  of  sevcnt}'- 
tluce  members  ;  ihirly-five  of  whom  were  bnpii/.ed  in 
the  nation,  and  tlic  others  from  the  vicinity,  or  were

lie  reads  English  with  ease,  and  is  ca|)alile  of  acquir- 
ing knowledge  from  any  books  published  in  tlic

much  usefulness.  It  is  proposed  by  the  board  to  take

purpose  can  bo  completed. 


CAREY. 

In  1820,  Rev.  Isaac  McCoy  commenced  a  mission- 
ary station  at  Fort  Wayne,  Indiana  ;  which  was  a 
central  point  for  jMiamies,  Ottawas,  Puttawatloniies, 
and  Shawnces.  He  was  aided  by  several  assistants, 
till  IVovember,  1322  ;  when  the  mission  family,  con- 
sisting of  fifty  persons,  removed  to  a  place  on  the 
river  St.  Josephs,  one  hundred  miles  north-west  of 
Fort  Wayne,  which  they  called  Carey.  During  liis 
stay  at  Fort  Wayne,  Mr.  McCoy  baptized  several 
Indians,  had  a  flourisliing  school,  and  constituted  a 
small  church.  Fort  Wayne  is  no  longer  a  missionary 
station. 

Additions,  from  time  to  time,  were  made  to  tlie  mis- 
sionary family  at  Carey,  and  the  gosjiel  was,  to  a  con- 
siderable extent,  received  with  joy.  In  a  letter  dated 
March,  1825,  Mr.  McCoy  says  : — 

"  JS'otwithsianding  there  luul,  at  dilTerent  times, 
been  baptized,  at  our  establishment,  four  while  per- 
sons, and  three  Indian  wojncn,  yet  we  had  all  along 
supposed  our  labors  were  bestowed  upon  a  sterile  soil. 
The  Lord  allowed  us  to  labor  under  numerous  dis- 
appointments and  discouragements,  until  we,  anil  all 
who  thought  our  labors  worth  their  notice,  had  seen 
tliat  facts,  as  here  exhibited,  truly  said,  that  the  work 
of  saving  sinners  was  his :  then  he  spake,  and  the 
'  savage  heard  ;  he  smiled,  and  the  forest  echoed  with 
praise. 

"  About  the  1st  of  October,  our  hopes  were  raised 
by  appearances  of  a  religious  excitement,  in  the  re- 
sult of  which,  the  expectations  which  were  then  in- 
spired, have  been  more  than  realized.     The  first  fruit 


was  among  our  hired  whiio  men,  next  our  In.;i:in  pu- 
pils, and  thence  the  work  extended  to  adult  Indians, 
unconnected  with  our  school.  Ei-lit  of  the  first,  eleven 
of  the  second,  and  one  of  the  last  mentioned,  have 
i)een  buried  with  Christ  in  bajitlsm  since  the  7th  of 
iNovendjer  last,  and  there  is  now  one  candidate  for 
baptism." 

The  rovii}g  habits  of  the  Indians  arc  a  poworfid 
barrier,  in  the  way  of  missionary  success.  Ao  sooner 
have  ihcy  become  a  lillle  acquainted  vviih  ihe  man- 
ners and  forms  of  our  missionaries,  and  gained  a  sli''lit 
-knowledge  of  ilie  things  of  religion,  than  they  arc 
hurried  away  to  the  cliasc.  They  forget  God  and 
heaven  ;  and  all  that  they  have  heard  bounds  olT 
from  their  minds  like  the  deer  which  they  piwsiii; 
among  the  foresls,  leaving  scarcely  any  moie  traces 
of  its  existence,  than  their  own  arrows  in  the  open 
heaven.  J3ut  Christians  are  to  wait  wiih  |/alience  fi<r 
the  precious  fruits  of  their  labors  ;  knowing  that  he 
is  faithful  who  hath  promised. 

"  In  September,  1828,  the  conimissloncrs  of  gov- 
ernment negoliaicd  a  treaty  with  the  Putlawattoniir-, 
by  which  all  the  surrounding  country,  with  the  exci'ji- 
lion  of  ten  miles  square,  was  ceded  to  the  United 
Slates.  Within  the  reserve  was  the  sile  of  the  mis- 
sion, concerning  which  a  provisionary  ai tide  was  in- 
corporated in  the  treaty,  providing  an  indemniiy, 
when  the  station  should  be  given  up.  In  the  mean- 
time, this  tribe  were  to  be  principally  shut  u-p  on  ll.eir 
small  reserve.  If  any  advantage  could  be  looked  for 
from  such  a  posture  of  their  affairs,  it  must  arise  from 
their  proximity  to  the  missionaries,  within  whose  in- 
fluence they  would  be  more  directly  ]ilaced. 

"The  number  of  children  in  the  school  was,  at  that 
time,  about  seventy.  Four  of  the  men  on  the  farm  had
